"We've given men a chance, and they have made the evils. Whose business is it to protect the children if not the women's?" She hesitated a moment, and then said: "I suppose you'll laugh at me." "No, no," I promised; then as I looked at her I guessed. "Are you going to tell me that woman's place is the home?" "That is what we think in Castleman County," she said, smiling in spite of herself.
"If we are to have clear heads to-morrow," I suggested, "we must drink no more wine to-night. The counsel of wine is the advice of the devil." "Right you are, Sir Karl. Only one more goblet. Here's to the health of the bride to be," said Castleman. Yolanda leaned back in her chair beside Twonette, and her face wore a curious combination of smile and pout.
Castleman, finding me alone, said: "You, Sir Karl, and Sir Max little know the value of the friend you have made this day." "I thank you, good Castleman," I answered, hardly liking so great an air of condescension on the part of a burgher. An afterthought suggested that perhaps Castleman had not referred to himself as the friend we had made.
Claire had her own view of Sylvia Castleman, a view for which I naturally made due reservations. Sylvia was a schemer, who had known from the first what she wanted, and had played her part with masterly skill. As for Claire, she had striven to match her moves, plotting in the darkness against her, and fighting desperately with such weak weapons as she possessed.
Here we must all unite, God's English and the wild Irish, the Fenian and the Castleman, the labourer and the lord. Surely, we are all against the microbes. There is a great demonstration, their Excellencies attend and the mayor presides. Under the banner of the microbe he is caught. It is a great occasion, which their Excellencies grace and improve.
We would journey to Peronne, seek Castleman's house, pay court to Antoinette I prayed she might not be too pretty and you can easily find your way over the rest of my castle. Within a fortnight Max and I had recovered entirely from our wounds, and were abroad each day in the growing warmth of the sunshine. We did not often speak of Castleman, but we waited, each day wishing for his speedy advent.
"What in the devil's name do you want at this time of night?" he growled. "The gates won't open till dawn." "Yes, they will," replied Castleman. "I have the burgomaster's order." "I open the gates only on an order from the governor of the citadel," said the warder. "I have not that, my good friend," responded Castleman, "but I have a hundred silver marks in my purse."
This conversation almost deprived me of the power to think. In a dimly conscious fashion, I wondered whether Castleman could possibly have meant the Duke of Burgundy when he told Yolanda that her father would soon be at Peronne.
"What can we do to rescue our friends if they still live, or to avenge them if dead?" asked Castleman. "I do not know," answered Hymbercourt. "Let me think it all over, and I will see you at your house to-night. Of this I am certain: you must not move in the matter.
"Poor child," said Frau Kate, as her husband passed out of the door. Castleman reached The Mitre near the hour of one, and of course did not find us. At half-past four, Yolanda entered the great oak room where Twonette and Frau Kate were stitching tapestry. "Where suppose you Sir Max is and Sir Karl?" asked Yolanda, with a touch of anger in her voice. "Why has he not come?
